Huw joined Cllr Jim Carroll and Council Candidate Becky Bowley in Sidley to meet retailers, community leaders and to view progress of the new link-road between Bexhill and Hastings.
The link-road is progressing towards its opening date of June 2015 and is expected to deliver new investment to the tune of £1bl over its first 25 years.
Huw said “The level of investment being pumped into Sidley and north-east Bexhill is tremendously exciting. With up to 2,000 new homes and 500,000 sq ft of new office space, your Conservative-run Councils in Rother and East Sussex are investing in Sidley and making an enormous difference to our community.”
